Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in the fields of biomaterials, biomedical engineering, and new technologies continue to have a huge impact on patient care in almost all disciplines of dentistry, biomaterials, and technologies. This Special Issue welcomes high-quality original research and review articles in the area of dentistry. The particular focus of submissions should encompass translational and clinical studies related to applied science from prevention aspects to treatment of oral and craniofacial defects, missing teeth, or dental tissues in oral diseases and orthodontics where biomaterials or digital technologies are used. Whilst this could potentially be harmful, e.g., if cytotoxic elements are released, it may alternatively provide a route to the preferential release of beneficial substances. A considerable amount of current research activity is targeted at the development of coatings or surface treatments to encourage tissue growth. If this is to be achieved by stimulating enhanced cell productivity, determination of the relationship between cell function and surface composition is essential.
This Special Issue will provide information on the dynamic changes and challenges taking place at the interface of biomaterials and dental technologies, aiming at improving dental treatment options and dental care.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers).
